A large section of this walk takes you through an Argan forest. Argan trees are an endemic species only found in the south west of Morocco and a mythical emblem of the Essaouira region. This is a relatively easy walk suitable for people looking for a leisurely ramble.
Throughout the hike, the guide will give you useful insights into the ecology of these trees. You will thus be able to observe the different stages of a tree‛s life cycle until it reaches maturity; you will also learn about the many different products derived from the trees and their fruit as well as the beneficial impact on the local culture.
You will walk through a little village where there is a ‘Marabout‛ -or saint‛s temple- featuring elements dating back to the 16th century, and later you will be served tea at a Berber villager‛s and experience first-hand traditional Moroccan hospitality.
At the end of the walking tour, you will visit a women's cooperative where you will discover the secret of making the famous argan oil.

Une très belle balade, environ 7-8km,sur un terrain plat mais avec des cailloux!(prendre plutôt ses baskets!). Il faut également se munir d’un chapeau et d’une bonne bouteille d’ eau car il fait extrêmement chaud dans les terres. Les deux guides qui nous ont accompagnés étaient très sympathiques.
Nous avons eu la possibilité de manger chez l’habitant ( avec un petit surplus), je recommande, c’était délicieux!

Our guide tour guide Naima was very informative and knew a lot about the area, the argan trees, the culture and the process of making argan products (edible and cosmetics!). The pickup details was very clear and very timely. Transport to the forest and everywhere else felt safe and comfortable, the walk itself was not too difficult. We loved learning quite about the village, Marabout, the old sugar refinery, berber families and the whole process of making argain products. We're looking forward to using the argan products we bought at the cooperative. One advise is to bring a well fitted hat, sunscreen, lots of water and a wind breaker with you if you ever come in May. Thanks for a great experience Naima!
